Putting the way the V2090 drives and handles aside. One of my favorite things about this boat is the amount of rod storage it has. I was recently on a week long excursion on Lake of the Woods. We targeted Walleyes, Bass, and Muskies usually at one point or another every day.
I tend to use the starboard and port shelves for the few rods that I am currently using, plus I have the lower starboard and port lockers for any extra rods that I need. It tends to be a couple lead core / bottom bouncer rods in there, as I don’t use them very much. It is really nice to know that I have the option to and that they are out of the way of everything else.
My center rod storage I save for anything that I need to get at quickly. This usually consists of Walleye and bass rods for the most part in case I see a friendly school off the break line while i’m musky fishing.
On a unrelated note here is a little back story to the picture…
Last week my brother and I were throwing buctails trying to get on some muskies. We saw a few walleyes on the graph and quickly changed gears. I had a jig and moxie rigged up so I started pitching that. On my third cast I get throttled by a big heavy fish! Out comes this little musky tail walking across the surface like a tarpon! Lucky enough, I had it hooked right in the corner of the mouth, and since we were literally just musky fishing 3 minutes ago, the musky net was handy and we were able to scoop him up after a 5 minute throw down.
Needless to say we immediately switched back to musky fishing and raised 6 fish in the next half hour. This is when we discovered the 1-2PM feeding window that literally shaped how we fished the next few days. Fish got active during this time period but were very reluctant to bite (unless you were throwing a moxie apparently)
We would return to the fish that we saw during this time period at dark and catch them! Funny how these patterns happen sometimes.
